Dear Gulabjamun, here is the recipe for Chinese garlic rice.
I hope this is the recipe you are asking for. Thanks Kugan.
GARLIC RICE CHINESE STYLE
Ingredients:
2 tsps oil
6 garlics cut into big pieces
300 grms cold cooked rice with some salt
2 tbs spring onions chopped
½ tsp soy sauce
A dash of pepper powder
A dash of aji-no-motto (OPTIONAL )
Little salt if needed
Method:
Heat a non- stick wok on high heat, add in the oil.
Add in the garlic and stir fry till fragrant.
Cook for a minute, tossing and turning quickly to avoid burning.
Add in the rice and stir vigorously, but gently.
See that the rice is mixed well with the garlic and oil.
Do this for a minute, toss in the spring onions.
Season also with the soy sauce, pepper and aji if using.
Mix well and remove from the heat. Serve warm with other dishes
NOTE: Can you see the garlic pips in the rice?

As far as I know, bamboo shoots take on the flavours of what ever they are served with.
Bamboo shoots are crunchy, they are low in fat and calories.
They are also a good source of fibre and potassium.
Madhu aanna, it is time consuming to prepare fresh bamboo shoots.
So the easy way out is to buy and use canned bamboo shoots.:smokesmirk:
Thanks and take care, Kugan
This is how fresh bamboo shoots look like:

Thanks Kugan, your garlic rice too looks very tempting, very healthy too.
Kugan, I love one pot dishes, by chance do you have a recipe to make tomato rice in a pressure cooker as a one pot
meal. I do not like to cook the rice first then mix with the tomato goju. Thanks Kugan.
